Application filed November 6, 1926, Serial No. 146,814, and in Germany November 17, 1925.

This invention relates to the lubrication for revolving'spindles especially tor use in connection with cream separators in which the oil is thrown from an oil chamber to a bearing for the spindle above the oil chamber and passes from the bearing through a channel to the outside in order to return to the oil chamber through another channel.

The improvement consists therein that the oil before passing to the oil chamber enters a special chamber in which dust, water or other impurities may be separated so. that such impurities do not reach the main oil chamber. v

The drawing shows how the invention may as carried out.

Fig. l is a section of the part of the separator in which the oil circulates. v

F 2 is a section through the worm Wheel in the line IL-II in Fig. l and Fig. 3 is a section of the gear case in the" line III,III in Fig. 1.

The frame of the separator is indicated by a. b is the main oil chamber and 0 is a worm wheel which spreads the oil as indicated by the dotted lines so that-it reaches the neckbearing f in which the spindle e revolves. After having lubricated the bearing the oil flows through the pipe 4: to the,

may occasionally be removed.

rating chamber outside ofthe oil chamber,

means for allowing the oil from the bearing to flow into the upper endot the separating chamber, and means whereby the clean oil will flow from the upperend of the separat ing. chamber into the oil chamber.

2. In means tor lubricating spindles, an

oil chamber having a spindle bearing in its upper end, means for throwing the 011 into 'saidbearing, a separating chamber outside of the oil chamber, said chamber having two compartments communicating with each other at the bottom, 'oneof the compartments communicating at its top with the oil chamher, and a plpe for delivering the Oll fronr the bearing to the upper end of the other compartment of the separating chamber.

3. In means for lubricating spindles of cream separators, an oil chamber having a spindle'bearing in the upper end, means for t throwing the oil tromthe chamber-into the bearing, a sep arating chamberin the wall catingwith each other at their lower ends and one having at its upper endan opening leading into the upper end. of an oil chamber.

and apipe communicating with the bearing extending above the separating chamber, and discharging into the upper end of the other compartment of the said separating chamber.
